Schiavo Bloggers: Dust Off Your Feet!

Time to leap back into the battle for life.

Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review Online gets a hat-tip for this one.

According to Fr. Rob Johansen a woman in Georgia is being starved to death. When looking at the details as reported by Fr. Johansen I have a hard time believing it. Here are the facts as reported:

85 year-old Mae Margourik of LaGrange, Georgia, is currently being deprived of nutrition and hydration at the request of her granddaughter, Beth Gaddy. Mrs. Margourik suffered an aortic dissection 2 weeks ago and was hospitalized. Though her doctors have said that she is not terminally ill, Ms. Gaddy declared that she held medical power of attorney for Mae, and had her transferred to the LaGrange Hospice. Later investigation revealed that Ms. Gaddy did not in fact have such power of attorney. Furthermore, Mae's Living Will provides that nutrition and hydration are to be withheld only if she is comatose or vegetative. Mae is in neither condition. Neither is her condition terminal.

Pretty soon hangnail victims will lose their food and water.

BTW on a completely unrelated note Blogger is really making a mess of itself today!
